1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Collective health has provided valuable analytical perspectives for understanding the social determinants of health and how dynamics of inequality, inequity, and injustice contribute to suffering, disease, morbidity, and mortality. From this perspective, this study identifies and analyzes the ways in which transvestite and trans people in Argentina appropriate and use different hormones and body modification interventions, aiming to highlight the vulnerabilities associated with these practices, both those performed outside the healthcare system and those carried out with professional support in an institution. A quantitative methodological strategy was adopted, with a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional design. In 2023, a nationwide survey was conducted using a questionnaire targeting transvestite and trans people aged 16 and older (n=1,196). The analyzed data reveal vulnerability processes that do not extend uniformly across the entire population and are linked to health inequalities.
